Today is the last day of my 20s

I woke up scratching my head because I of course, am totally scritchy.   I rolled over and saw 7:30AM on the clock, which means it was really 7:15AM because I try to trick myself into waking up early.   I'm smarter than I think.   I was irked because I really wanted to sleep in today.   I thought it was going to be easy to sleep in since I kept falling into a light coma during the 2nd to last episode of the 1st season of The Wire.   Just in time to see Kima get shot.   But I digress.   This is the last day of my 20s.   It's weirding me out more than a little.   Well, actually... if we're being honest here, and I think we are... I'm not weirded out at all.

I just feel like it's not real.  Ya know?  I got a card that said "Happy 30th Birthday!" and I felt I had opened someone else's mail.   THAT card is for ME?  I am 30?  It just seems so surreal.  It's not an accomplishment or anything, but it's seriously something I could never fathom for myself.  Literally.  30.  So weird.   I mean, I think of my mom being 30.  Or people in Connecticut being 30.  Not me.   We were walking up the stairs last night after dinner at Wild Ginger (SO GOOD) and the boy said "man, 30... shouldn't you be, like, on your 3rd kid?"  Funny guy!

So that's it people.  The end.   The end of the public nudity years.  Or the beginning of a new decade of debauchery?   Only time can tell.

Since when were you doing public nudity in your late 20s anyway?

Besides, until shit starts wrinkling and sagging, I say let your stuff go free if that's what gets you going.

But here's the thing to really remember: as old as 30 may feel to you, it's not old. In fact, when you're older (like, say, 38?), you're gonna look back on right now and wonder what the hell you were freaking out for, and how young you really still were.

Enjoy the hell out of your life, no matter how old the calendar says you are. It's all about your state of mind anyway... and you can keep being 25 inside long into your 40s if you want.

Happy birthday, Beav. Glad you stuck around for the first 30... hope you're here for another 60 at least.
